Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of durene separation, and particularly relates to a durene separation and purification method based on bubble fractional crystallization and distillation.
Background
Durene, namely 1,2,4, 5-tetramethylbenzene, has symmetrical dipole pairs, the boiling point of which is 196.8 ℃, the melting point of which is 79.2 ℃, is higher than the isomers of the durene and the durene, camphor odor, white crystals, is soluble in organic solvents such as ether, ethanol and the like, is insoluble in water and can be sublimated, and derived polymers of the durene have stepwise alternate single bonds and double bonds and have good high-temperature resistance, so the market demand is increasing.
Durene can be obtained by separation or isomerization and other synthetic reactions from C10 aromatic hydrocarbon at present, wherein the traditional separation and purification technology is to firstly rectify and cut fractions with different boiling points from C10 aromatic hydrocarbon, then separate out a crude durene product by freezing crystallization, then obtain the durene product by squeezing separation, and simultaneously recover mother liquor obtained by centrifugation and squeezing to be used as raw materials of the isomerization reaction. The method for extracting durene from C10 heavy aromatics disclosed in Chinese patent CN 1028358C comprises the steps of feeding durene rich liquid obtained by rectification separation from C10 heavy aromatics into a distributed crystallization tower, separating out crystals in the crystallization tower, purifying and separating the crystals, repeatedly melting and crystallizing durene by composite alternating temperature rise, and improving the concentration and purity of durene. The process method for producing durene by reforming the decaaromatic hydrocarbon disclosed in the Chinese patent CN101279886B comprises the steps of passing the reformed decaaromatic hydrocarbon through at least a first rectifying tower (the tower top temperature is 125-. The method combines continuous rectification technology with refrigeration temperature increase, reduces the requirements of the process on equipment, reduces production cost and energy consumption, and has the product yield of 80% and the product purity of 99%.
According to the prior art, durene with different yields and purities can be obtained by performing different crystallization and purification on the rectified durene enrichment liquid, but the preparation method has the advantages of complex process route, high energy consumption, low controllability, low working efficiency, poor production environment and great promotion space for the purity and yield of durene.
